“The action came AFTER the Military Religious Freedom Foundation said they were examples of a ‘shove-Christianity-in-everyone’s faces’ attitude and wouldn’t be allowed even in VA chapels, which the foundation said are required to be religiously neutral.”

“A researcher for the foundation, Chris Rodda, called the signs and symbols ‘the most outrageous display of Christian proselytizing (the foundation) has ever seen at a VA facility.

— San Antonio Express-News (emphasis added by MRFF)


“Although I am Christian myself, the setup was like that of a Sunday school foyer or classroom. It was unconscionable to have that put upon me and others. It felt to be unnecessarily hurtful to the purpose of the facility for medical care and treatment of all veterans, inconsiderate of the broad diversity of those who use the facility.”

    No, you’re gratuitous and childish insult was not right. The VA was violating the applicable regulations and the constitutional rights of veterans. Fortunately, MRFF was available to bring the violations to the VA’s attention.

    Based on previous comments by Jklol I am confident in saying they don’t follow the Constitution of the USA. In fact, I’m not completely convinced they are a citizen of the USA. Because if they were a citizen of this country they’d know that the government must remain neutral in regards to religion or we become a theocracy and cease being a democracy.

    As a ‘not’ citizen they don’t have skin in the game, therefore their comments are seagulls – pieces of crap dropped from great height creating a massive mess.

    Jklol: nice deflection attempt! You appear not to realize that protecting the civil rights of the minority also protects the civil rights of the majority – because EVERYONE WILL END UP IN THE MINORITY SOONER OR LATER.

    We understand you and sympathize with you. Not everyone is intelligent enough to understand why freedom of religion is imperiled if it isn’t protected for all of us. In any case, your original claim about MRFF violating non-profit tax exemption law is obviously bogus. Have a nice day!
